Adam Johnson trial: Alleged victim told her father she 'wanted to kill herself'

ACCUSED: The unnamed girl claims Johnson made her perform oral sex in his car

The father said he was left in total shock and disbelief when the 15-year-old admitted “things happened” as she met the Sunderland star to get a signed shirt.

The dad told police his daughter came downstairs “crying her eyes out” after seeing 50 schoolmates discussing her relationship with the footballer on Facebook.

The girl claims Johnson, 28, made her perform oral sex in the front seat of his black Range Rover Sport.

Her pals told Bradford Crown Court she had planned to meet the footballer again to have full sex but he stood her up, telling her he could not find an excuse to give to girlfriend Stacey Flounders, 26, to leave their house.

The jury heard that the girl’s father told detectives she burst into the living room in tears “saying she wanted to kill herself”.

“I asked her what was wrong but she would not tell me what the problem was,” he said.

“She sat cuddling me in my arms and crying.”

After half an hour of reassuring her she could trust him with anything, she told him: “I have met up with Adam Johnson.”

When he asked where, she said it was at a pal’s house to “get a shirt from him”.

The dad said: “I asked her what had happened. She said things had happened.

“I asked if she’d had sex with him. She replied ‘no’. I then asked what had gone on between them but she would not tell me. She was clearly upset and crying and cuddling me.”

DISTRAUGHT: The girl's father says she was inconsolable for hours after returning home

The dad said it took her an hour to calm down.

He then convinced her to talk to her mum who, the jury has heard, ordered her to go to the police.

A 10-second video the girl secretly recorded of her meeting with Johnson at his car was played to the jury.

She told the court she made it on her phone to prove to pals she was not lying about her relationship with the star.

Johnson, of Castle Eden, Co Durham, admits grooming the girl and kissing her but denies two more serious charges of sex activity.
